Windows share folders with vmware Ubuntu

I have trouble to view share folder from Ubuntu 7.0.4. There are several ways to do it. One is through smb4k, the other is with vmware share folder settings. Neither works for me. So with the second way, I found out the solution from the Internet.

This fix changes the driver.c in /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source. Make a backup on vmhgfs.tar, untar it (tar xvf vmhgfs.tar), make edit on driver.c, tar it back (tar cvf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only) and re-run vmware-config-tools.pl.
